Donald Trump's effort to march to the Republican presidential nomination faces perhaps its greatest challenge on Tuesday when voters in New Hampshire hold the first-in-the-nation primary. The former president enters the contest emboldened by his record-setting performance in last week's Iowa caucuses.

Ron DeSantis is effectively surrendering new Hampshire and focusing on South Carolina's Feb. 24 primary.
